_ _ _ [N] I remember the last time we sung that song was in September
up in North Carolina and Brother Willard [Ebm] Thomas was there.
And [Ab] Brother Willard got [F] up and run all around that tabernacle
and shouted and had us sing it over and over [N] and over again
till my throat was about to bleed.
I'm telling you, I can't help but think as we sung that second verse,
he saw the lighthouse.
_ [D] _ That Sunday morning I was preaching in North Carolina
and I [N] got the text that Brother Willard went home to be with Jesus.
And I thought, my, my, that man preached about Jesus for 60 years,
was 80 years old.
What a [C] sight it must have been to see the lighthouse one day
and for his ship to pull in to Heaven's harbor safe like it always preached about.
Step off on the other side and see the risen Christ.
